　　Thirty million people visit Paris every year and when you are standing in a queue at the Louvre waiting to have a look at the Mona Lisa,it is possible to think that each and every one of them is in the same room as you.

　　But it is possible to see the iconic sites of the City of Lights without falling into the crowded tourists.

　　My favourite way to enjoy Paris is to

take enough money to last a visit of at least two months. I did this when I was 20. I lived in a poor hotel on Rue St. Jacques around the corner from the Sorbonne and the Jardin du Luxembourg. Surviving on 100 francs a day, I ate baguettes, tomatoes and a jar of mayon-naise. I drank my short blacks while standing at the counter of cafes. I walked everywhere,down the city's grand avenues and up its hid-den old alleyways. I loved every single pover-ty-covered moment of that winter.

　　I've been back several times since for shorter trips. Each time, Paris offers new joys and discoveries.

　　An increasingly popular way to get that true Parisienne (巴黎女子的) touch to your trip is to rent an apartment. Brisbane author Nerida Newtown loved the “at home” feeling when she and her family realized a long-term dream by living in Paris for a few months.

　　If you can't manage a long stay, never fear. Jodie Minus's excitable account of her whirlwind trip to the City of Lights shows how you can get the most out of Paris in a short time. Jenny Stevens managed to show a first-time visitor much of Paris. But now it's over to you: Share your secrets and passions about Paris.

In a few years，you might be able to speak Chinese，Korean，Japanese，French，and English-and all at the same time. This sounds incredible，but Alex Waibel，a computer science professor at US's Car-negie Mellon University (CMU) and Germany's University of Karlsruhe，announced last week that it may soon be reality. He and his team have invented software and hardware that could make it far easier for people who speak different languages to understand each other.
One application，called Lecture Translation，can easily translate a speech from one language into an-other. Current translation technologies typically limit speakers to certain topics or a limited vocabulary. Us-ers also have to be trained how to use the programme.
Another machine can send translations of a speech to different listeners depending on what languagethey speak. “It is like having a simultaneous translator right next to you but without disturbing the person next to you，”Waibel said
Prefer to read? So- called Translation Glasses transcribe(转录) the translations on a tiny liquid-crystal display(LCD) screen.
Then there's the Muscle Translator. Electrodes capture the electrical signals from facial muscle movements made naturally when a person is mouthing words. The signals are then translated into speech.The electrodes could be replaced with wireless chips implanted in a person's face，according to research-ers.
During a demonstration held last Thursday in CMU's Pittsburgh campus，a Chinese student named Sang Jun had 11 tiny electrodes attached to the muscles of his cheeks，neck and throat. Then he mouthed-without speaking aloud- a few words in Mandarin(普通话) to the audience. A few seconds later，the phrase was displayed on a computer screen and spoken out by the computer in English and Spanish: “Let me introduce our new prototype.”
This particular instrument，when fully developed，might allow anyone to speak in any number of lan-guages or，as Waibel put it，“to switch your mouth to a foreign language”. “The idea behind the universi-ty's prototypes is to create'good enough' bridges for cross- cultural exchanges that are becoming more common in the world，”Waibel said.
With spontaneous(自发的) translators，foreign drivers in Germany could listen to traffic warnings on the radio; tourists in China could read all the signs and talk with local people;leaders of different coun-tries could have secret talks without any interpreters there.
【小题1】What can't be learned from the text?

A．The spontaneous translators will help us a lot.

B．There is no Muscle Translator in the world now.

C．Muscle Translators can translate what you think into speech if you just move your mouth.

     In this fast-shifting world, there can be no guarantees attached to any particular job. But there is much
that you can do to protect yourself from the change of society, by equipping yourself with the skills to
manage your career more effectively. You need to be a career activist.
     If you lost your main source of income tomorrow, could you find a different source to replace it? The
most im-portant thing in protecting yourself now and in the future is ensuring that you have choices. Don't
let yourself be held back by a lack of skill development, or fear of change. Some people have been good
performers in their own or-ganization but discovered that they are stuck. Because they are so closely related
to a particular company or indus-try, their skills are not readily transferred to other jobs.
     Don't put all your eggs in one basket. If you limit yourself to one particular area or sector, you limit your
opportuni-ty, too. In a global market place, many jobs come and go quickly as changes in the stock market.
Today's hottest job may not exist tomorrow. If you love computers, then this work represents a great
choice. But don't enter a field just because you think that's where the hot jobs are; even if the job is available,
it may not match well with your own skills and abili-ties. Start with entry of your own strengths and interests,
then see where you may match up best in the job market.

1. How can we ensure that we have choices if we lose the main source of income?

A. Be a good performer in our own organization.
B. Try to develop our skills and be a career activist.

A. sticking to only one particular job

A. Something that is both hot and interesting.
B. Something that brings you good source of income.
C. Something that will always exist in the future.
D. Something involving your strengths and interests.

Hallmark arrived in my hometown of Calcutta, India when I was 16. On Valentine’s Day(情人节), I waited in line with many other teenagers just for a chance to get into the store. I remember wishing two things. One of them is that the good-looking boy whom I could see through the store window was picking out a gift for me. Unfortunately, Valentine’s Day passed and I received nothing but a lecture from my father on how Western capitalism(资本主义) was ruining your culture.

The next Valentine’s Day, I still didn’t have a boyfriend, but I did receive a greeting card from a secret admirer. I can’t remember what it exactly said inside the card, but it hardly mattered. I know I’m not the only one who’s had the blues because of being single on Valentine’s Day.

It’s not just on Valentine’s Day that I’m reminded of these feelings. One night, my friend and I were at the subway station in New York City waiting for the local to arrive. The station was mostly full of college students, and later an older couple walked in. Just at that moment, a street musician started playing She’s Only a Woman to Me. The couple began dancing around the station and lost in their own world. On the train, I found myself recalling the time when I was with a date at the subway station, and there he picked me up in his arms like I was a ballerina(芭蕾舞女演员).

My view of romance has changed from when I was 16 in Calcutta to now, 23, and living in Manhattan. This year, I won’t focus all my romantic expectations on one particular day. I’ll spend Valentine’s Day with friends in New York Ci ty. But I won’t try to hide somewhere or turn off my cellphone. Instead, I’ll help my coupled-up friends pack for their weekend trips to Rome.

A. city B. street C. store D. man

56. We can infer that in the opinion of the writer’s father .

A. his daughter should have received a gift

B. people in India shouldn’t celebrate Valentine’s Day

C. people in India should welcome Western culture

57. According to Paragraph 2, if someone has the blues, he or she is probably .

A. lucky B. angry C. excited D. sad

A. The writer now has a boyfriend.

B. The writer now is afraid of Valentine’s Day.
